We stayed for 5 nights in the Citadel Guesthotel (which I would say is identical to "Citaldel Youth Hostel") and had a good time.Good things:

perfect location in the middle of the old town near Jaffa gate. Can't be better!

staff is always very helpful with lots of tipps. If you need sth., ask them.

Very nice view from the roof over parts of the city

room and facilities are clean

Not so good things:

it's loud - our room was next to two toilets/shower rooms and had a window to the street. We could not close the window and the (wooden) doors didn't absorb any sounds - you hear just everything --> so don't forget ear plugs!

Overall: it's a hostel, a place to sleep (with earplugs ;-) ) during the night. If you want to relax in your room, go into a hotel. If you adjust yourself to that level you can have a great time!

An excellent choice in the old city. The Citadel is one of those places you look forward to staying at and it didn't disapoint. The building is unique and there are plenty of relaxing areas for those in dorms. The dorms are just a place to sleep. The staff are so helpful and are knowledgable too. Can't recommend highly enough.

The Citadel Guesthouse, located inside the Old city and is centrally located. It is affordable, the workers are friendly. It is a hostel, so you do have to share facilties, so if you don't get your own room with a bathroom do not except things to be very clean, so take sandles to the bathroom. Overall the guesthouse is a great value for what you pay and if I where to go again, I would stay there once again. Great environment where you can meet new and interesting people who are traveling the world.

Very nice pace, welle situated in the old town, the people there is very nice end helpful. There is a kitchen where you cn cook, there is also a very nice terrasse on the top where you have a beautiful overlook of Jerusalem.The only point that could be better is the bathrooms that could be a bit more clean, but it's ok.I really enjoyed my stay there.

It seemed money was more important than guests comfort. Beds mattreses and linen all need replacing as are past there use by date rooms are very small with poor ventilation on the good side great location for the old city and great view of Jerusalem from roof

Very basic hostel very conveniently located in the Old City of Jerusalem. Management is very good as all the guests seem to stick to the rules which makes it excellent value for anyone on a low budget willing to ignore the rather run down but basically clean rooms. My daughter and I stayed in a "triple" room with bathroom and toilet which had a large double bed and a single. The room and it's facilities resembled my daughter's room at digs at Uni. The view of the Old City from the window was very pleasant but the window couldn't be left open as it swung back and forth creaking and banging in the breeze so we had the fan on all night. Bring your own soap as none provided.

The great advantage is the location in the Old City. The hostel has a roof terrace, from which you can see all the roofs and towrs of the old City. The hostel itself is a bit narrow, limited space everywhere.

my son and stayed here for 5 nights and found all staff, location ,facilities, were fantastic and would recommend this hostel to all our friends.we loved staying in the old city and our hostel was very centre to all facilitiesThank you to all the staff for looking after us well
